Winter Sport Season Begins
This winter season, Mariner Athletics will be piloting its first ever swim season. Though the thought of LPA having its own swim team has been considered for several years, a generous partnership with Westminster Catawba has made this season possible.

Swim season will begin Monday with practice at the Rock Hill Charlotte Ave. YMCA. 

Basketball teams will also hold their first practices Monday, October 29.
